In their actions and in their importance to the story and to mankind, the gods of Homer are different from the gods of Virgil in more than name. Can you help me understand how Virgil's gods evolved as compared to ancient Greek gods? If I could get different answers on the different parts, if I can't one comprehensive answer, that would be helpful too. 1. From at least two ancient Greek sources, in addition to Homer, explain how Virgil's gods...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/their-actions-their-importance-story-mankind-gods-468747May 7, 2014, 12:22 am PSTVirgil was a Roman poet, not a Greek.

Virgil was a Roman poet, not a Greek. His famous work The Aeneid is not an essay but an epic poem, and it is not about the tranquility of the mind but mostly about the trials and tribulations of warriors. Since you are asking about Virgil's Aeneid, I have moved the topic from History. Seneca was also a Roman and was best known for his dramatic works.

Virgil's Aeneid does provide the Romans with a national epic because it establishes a link between their current history and their mythical past. As early as Homer's Iliad 20, the story existed that Aeneas' descendants were destined for greatness. Virgil expands upon the hints given by Homer by showing the link between the divine (Venus), the mortal (Aeneas, Ascanius/Iulus), and Rome. Aeneas' son Iulus would be claimed by the Roman Julian clan...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-ways-does-aeneid-fulfill-its-aim-provide-310680Sun, 29 Jan 2012 11:56:10 PSTIn what ways does the Aeneid fulfill its aim to provide the Romans with...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-ways-does-aeneid-fulfill-its-aim-provide-310680

Virgil's full name is Publius Vergilius Maro and he was born on October 15, 70 BC, and he died on September 21, 19 BC. There are so many things that we can say about Virgil, especially his literary works. So, I will have to be selective. Here are a few points about Virgil. First, Virgil was arguably the most famous poet in Rome during the time of Augustus and one of the greatest poets of the Western world. His magnum opus is the Aeneid, but he...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/who-was-virgil-why-was-he-historically-significant-302744Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:28:05 PSTWho was Virgil, and why was he historically significant?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/who-was-virgil-why-was-he-historically-significant-302744

It would seem that Virgil, a Classical Roman poet, started his education at the age of five. His father was a wealthy landowner, so paying for Virgil's education was by no means difficult. At first it seemed Virgil would pursue studies in rhetoric and the law. However, he soon turned his attention to poetry. Virgil is remembered for writing three major works. They are the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the Aeneid, along with...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/who-were-virgils-major-influences-206707Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:29:50 PSTWho were Virgil's major influences?http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/who-were-virgils-major-influences-206707

The gods used humans as tools to get at other gods with whom they had issues. They help the humans their rival gods want to fail, and so forth. Like #2 mentioned, sometimes it is only for entertainment value that they meddle in the lives of humans...the witches in Macbeth are a classic case of this as well!http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/aeneid-391107Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:21:10 PSTThe gods involved in the Iliad and the Odyssey are probably in line with...http://www.enotes.com/homework-help/aeneid-391107
